Join us this year!

​You know that feeling of I don’t belong 
here? The quiet middle-school cafeteria 
panic of not knowing where to sit. It’s funny 
how we grow up on paper — jobs, kids, 
bills, calendars, but we still walk into a room 
feeling the same way. We wonder: Is it just 
me? Am I the only one who’s lonely?
Somewhere between cafeterias and 
carpool lines, we acquired 1224 friends on 
Instagram, but not one person we’d feel 
comfortable calling in a crisis. We got busy, 
started using ChatGPT as our therapist, 
and now we spend more time analyzing our 
lives than living them. We’re great at 
managing schedules and terrible at saying, 
“Want to come over?” 
Maybe it’s because we’ve spent the last 
few years optimizing our mornings, 
workouts and wardrobes into a boring 
beige minimalism. The result? We’re burnt 
out, lonely and tired of feeling 
overwhelmed. It’s time to slow things 
down. Less maximizing every minute, more 
backyard hangs. More remembering who 
we are when we’re not doing it all alone. 
We’re longing for more life and real 
community.
Into that ache, Jesus speaks with surprising 
clarity: “I have called you friends.” And then 
he hands us to each other. This year at 
MomCo, we’re going back to something 
wildly simple: We’re bringing back analog 
friendship. It’s time to be known again. 
And so, how about we not play it cool? 
Let’s bring back earnestness.
